Description of the situation: MaryAnn was born in May of 2018. She has an older sibling, Edil (2015) and a younger sibling, Rolex (2022). Their father is a fisherman, and their mother sells fish for a living. The family’s net income is 1,000 KSH (10 EUR) per month. They live in a mud house that has three rooms. For cooking they use firewood and charcoal and get their water from the lake. While for lighting they use solar powered lights. MaryAnn struggles with some chest problems, but otherwise is healthy. Some of MaryAnn’s hobbies include cooking and athletics. With the family making very little money the joint income barely proved for the families’ basic needs. MaryAnn hopes to join the Island of Hope’s playing group in the 2022 school year. Her adoption costs are 2.400 CZK/ 100 EUR per school term (7.200 CZK/ 300 EUR per year).
